Israel: 100 French tourists
hospitalized for possible food poisoning

Some 100 French tourists in
their 20s were hospitalized on Friday after showing symptoms of food
poisoning.

Eli Peretz of Magen David Adom said 40 were
evacuated to hospital in Tiberias and the rest were sent to hospitals in
Afula and Safed. Peretz said the source of the poisoning was most likely in
food served to the tourists in southern Israel on Thursday. (Ahiya Raved)
